Holiday Jam Celebrates the Indivisible Guide

At a meeting both lively and quick, nearly 200 attendees filled the Cornerstone Event Center on Dec. 10 for Indivisible Lambertville-New Hope’s first Holiday Jam. Guest speaker Billy Fleming, co-author of the Indivisible Guide, roused the crowd with the guide’s history and inspiration.

Billy reminded us what 6,000+ Indivisible organizations along with other like-minded groups have managed to accomplish this year, saying that “we had no reason to win anything, with a Republican Congress and administration, yet we did.” He cited the repeal of ObamaCare, the travel ban and the effort that spurred Alabama residents to get out the vote, winning a Senate seat for Democrat Doug Jones in a deeply red state.

Although the focus of Indivisible.org has largely been on national politics to date, the organization is already looking at how to do in statehouses what has been accomplished in Congress. He credits the local Indivisible groups like ours for “all their good ideas,” which they then share with others and amplify.

“Keep doing what you’re doing, and if you need more from Indivisible.org, let us know,” he said.
